Palestinian Exclusion Shows the Limits of Kamala Harris’s Politics of Joy
The Nation ^ | 8/22/24 | Jeet Heer

The Democratic convention’s giddy vibe shift is shadowed by ongoing war and a failure to hear Palestinian voices.

his year’s Democratic National Convention is more likely to be remembered for its giddy mood than for any memorable turns of phrase or innovative policy ideas. Democrats have been on an emotional high ever since Joe Biden withdrew his presidential bid and Kamala Harris was elevated as the party’s presumptive nominee. Suddenly, all the anxiety of the last year—much of it based on a realistic fear that Biden was not up to the job of defeating Donald Trump—evaporated, practically overnight.

The definition of irony, hamas kills a thousand Jews and Israel retaliates, and yet there is an abortion clinic at the democrat convention.

How bizarre.

I read ‘executions’ at first glance. Freudian slip?

the Fakestinians murder 1300 innocent Israelis and guest visitors in their beds and kindergarten and school ...
and the Fakestinians and communists and Nazis and Fellow Travelers and Useful Idiots almost wreck Chicago while the DNC is catering to their every outrageous demand and threat

and now this communist rag of a “newspaper” claims the D’s aren’t listening to them?

what bold-faced LIARS The Nation is!
no integrity, no shame, nothing but Goebbel’s Big Lie Technique in Spades.
The irony being that some Useful Idiots and of course most of the Traitors in Chicago today will swallow this krap up wholesale.

The Philistinian effigy in the OP pic should have been holding this . . .

At first glance I thought that effigy in the picture was Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

It’s really quite simple: if Palestinians want to be treated like decent human beings they should try acting like decent human beings and help rid the world of the Hamas brethren among them.

Sadly though, I think most of them support Hamas, so ...

And they can have a homeland, but they can’t have Israel.

Fatah is exactly the same as Hamas.

And the very act of calling oneself a “Palestinian” means one has named oneself as dedicated to Israel’s destruction.
